I hate my body so so much. I'm so thin that I can see my ribs poke out when I lean my body backwards. I can see my veins and arteries on my forearm. I'm severely underweight. It doesn't help that I'm 5 foot 5 and a boy. I still have a few years left until I'll stop growing completely, but it's just so painful to look at myself. I hate the way others look at me like I'm some kind of malnourished scrawny little rat. I just can't gain weight for the life of it!! I hate that the weather is changing and now I have to wear t shirts so everyone can see my thin arms. I've barely gained any weight since so long. Doesn't help that I live in a terrible and judgmental country. It just makes me not want to go outdoors. It's not that I hate the outdoors, quite the opposite, I just hate society's expectations. I'm really glad that my parents don't mind as much as I do. I can't ever stop wondering when I'll stop being below 15kg/m2. It's really infuriating and messes up my confidence and self-esteem!!
